ORGANIC EXERCISE. AT HOME IN YOUR GARDEN. When you garden, you experience a number of health benefits. Gardening in particular is associated with mental clarity and feelings of reward. If that’s not enough, all that planting, watering, pruning, and weeding eases stress and anxiety, improves memory and concentration, aids in improving hand strength and dexterity, helps immune regulation, and boosts self-esteem and well-being. One long-term study found daily gardening to represent the single biggest risk reduction for dementia, reducing incidence by 36%. For sure, just being around your garden right in your own backyard can improve your state of mind, giving you more energy and helping you to feel more alert, alive, and peaceful. |
